Sometimes I'd like to ask God why He allows poverty, famine and injustice when He could do something about it. But I'm afraid God might ask me the same question.

I went into the kitchen to find the kids sitting on top of the kitchen counter eating cold blueberry pancakes, leftovers from this morning. Why do kids have an aversion to chairs? I think it is stinkin' cute. Maybe I shouldn't, maybe I should be appalled that my children are pillaging the 'fridge for leftovers and climbing on my counters but I just don't. These 2 kids have been wanting one of these brain sucking handheld machines for quite a while, I do not really like it, but they have saved all their birthday & holiday $ for over a year and pooled it together to get it. They have had it for 2 full days. I did ask them to do me a favor and count how many people we could invite to our house and everybody have their own place to sit, seeing they have forgotten what a chair looks like.... It is my way of recreating brain synapses that have been lost over the past 48 hours.

This is so cute! I also dislike the handheld games. Love to meet you maybe when the kids go back to school.

My little man saved and saved and purchased a DS this weekend as well. Ugh! I can't stand the thing but what can you do when you tell them to save their OWN money and they DO IT???? Let's hope they do not lose too many brain cells.
